[Latent TGF Beta Binding Protein 2, encoded by the LTBP2 gene, is a latent transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) binding protein. Binding of this protein to TGF-beta in the extracellular-matrix serves as an important mechanism to regulate TGF-beta function. Mutations in LTBP2 have been identified in two instances of atypical Marfan syndrome. (LocusLink) ( NCI )]
